Therapists in Sandy, UT

Friends and family are great resource. They care about you and are often so uneasy with seeing you upset that it's difficult for them to help you address the hard areas in life. Because they don't want to see you unhappy, they often tell you 'want' to hear when a good therapist will help you discover what you need to hear. Whether it be situational (relational issues, job-loss, unexpected death) or something more long-term like trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety. Investing time with a licensed therapist can help. You are stronger and more resilient than you realize and I look forward to working with you.

I have worked with children/teens and their families needing support in their emotional and behavioral health for the better part of a decade. More recently, I have focused on crisis work and I have experience working with at risk adults and teens. Regardless of your concerns, if you or your loved one are struggling with your mental health, or simply aren’t finding as much pleasure from life as you would like, it may be time to seek help. I aim to provide a space of safety, self-determination, and healing while building on your strengths for lifelong growth.

If you are looking for a safe, non judgmental, and warm therapist who can still challenge you to be your best self, you've come to the right place. Whether you are struggling sexually in your relationship, or you have relational issues that impact your ability to connect, this is a place where you can come and discuss the things in your life that are challenging you beyond your capacity to see clearly. It is my belief you can learn the most about areas of improvement and growth by taking a look at your relationship patterns.

Ex-Mormons, Lifestyle, open relationships, Swingers and otherwise “sexual experimenters” are a big majority of my clientele because they are highly motivated and want results. That said, I’m really in the human behavior and brain science business. It's difficult if not impossible to develop self-confidence and enjoy the pleasures of sexual expression(s) when elements of trauma, shame and beliefs that you “can’t or shouldn’t” are present. It’s a rare person who hasn’t had their sexual beliefs hijacked at some point to where they “just can’t do it” (whatever that may be) by sheer force of will.

I typically work with individuals struggling with difficult emotions and behaviors, and couples who are struggling with their sexual and romantic relationship. If you are searching for support and guidance to help yourself get unstuck, reduce your troubling feelings, or gain insight and awareness about yourself and your issues, you have come to the right place. I offer a caring, accepting and honest approach with my clients. Together we will work to understand the root of your struggles, validate your experiences, and find solutions that work for your unique needs. Each client is different and our therapy work will be collaborative.

Do you find yourself struggling to communicate your feelings in an authentic way to those around you? Is setting boundaries in relationships (and sticking to them) a challenge for you? Relationships are an integral part of our lives—whether they be with colleagues at work, a partner or spouse, close friends, or our children—and maintaining these relationships takes work! Taking some time to focus on yourself and your relationships can have a tremendous impact on your mental health and overall wellbeing. The belief that every person can foster meaningful changes in their lives is central to my personal philosophy of change.

I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in the assessment and treatment of tic disorders (e.g., Tourette Syndrome), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety disorders. Many people with these types of concerns feel frustrated, scared, restricted, or embarrassed. My approach is to work collaboratively with you to develop an individually tailored plan that helps you achieve your goals in therapy. I provide evidenced-based treatment for these concerns in an open and non-judgmental manner. We will work together using techniques from behavioral science to help you live the life you want.

Are you feeling fear, stress, and overwhelm? Do you have a have a difficult time getting caught in anxious or depressive thought patterns? Do you want to change your experience and feel some relief? Learning mindfulness skills can help you slow down, observe the world, and reduce worry to feel more balance, calm, and focused. I use powerful questions, positive psychology, mindfulness meditation, and a strengths perspective to assist you to improve your well-being for good. Together we will create an individualized plan to help you change your thoughts and feel empowered to create the life you want.

I believe seemingly broken things can mend. I have seen change and I know it is possible. I specialize in working with couples to access deep emotional connection and to change patterns of interaction that keep us stuck. Whether facing affairs and addiction, or simply seeking better communication, we can work together to create safety and security in your relationship. I also work with individuals struggling against anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Relationships often dictate the measure of success or failure we experience. My goal is to help you find peace, balance, and to move forward in a purposeful direction.

Are you someone who has found yourself face-to-face with an emotional crisis in your life? Are you someone who is facing a major life event such as divorce, death, religious trauma, terminal illness, or a debilitating diagnosis of yourself, loved one, or your child? Or are you someone who has already experienced life changing events, emotional crises, and can still feel the effects? Then you have come to the right place.

Making the decision to look for help can be difficult and where do you start? With so many therapist being listed it's hard to decide which one to choose based on a simple profile and picture. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past and found that it wasn't a very helpful endeavor for you. You still are struggling with some problems yet don't know what else to do. That's why I offer a free initial consultation. Before you spend any of your hard earned money or waste your precious time you can decide if I can be of benefit to you and your particular challenge. And if I'm not the one? I will help you find someone who is for free.

My desire to be a fellow traveler on a client's therapeutic journey is seeded in my first-hand knowledge of the healing benefits of a trusting, counseling relationship. As participants in the human experience, we endeavor and triumph. We face traumas and adversity that shape our views, and negatively influence the present day and our hopes for the future. We have fears and anxiety, which halt our progress and stifle our joy and inner peace.

Therapy is one of the greatest investments of time and money a person can make. Why? Because we all need it BADLY. In my view, therapy is about getting to the actual root of our mental and emotional problems. The root of the stress and problems that you, myself, and every human faces is that we all have a brain and nervous system that have been wounded by different experiences in our past. It's these wounds that sabotage us. As a result of my own wounds, I was struggling with massive amounts of anxiety, perfectionism, and addictive habits. Life felt SO overwhelming. Fortunately, that all started to change when I went to therapy.

I have committed my life’s work to help people overcome the challenges they face and experience joy and fulfillment in their lives and relationships. In my practice, I have worked in many different locations, serving diverse individuals with a broad range of needs. My empathic and solution-oriented approach helps support individuals as they discover their solutions and make the changes they desire. I have worked with adults and adolescents addressing a broad range of challenges including anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

I believe that life's challenges can be opportunities for growth, though it's difficult to have this perspective when you are in the midst of a struggle. Whether it's a painful relationship issue, a stressful life transition, unresolved emotional trauma, or an overwhelming addiction, I can guide you through this process of change with expertise and compassion. My goal is to help you appreciate and develop more fully your unique qualities and strengths, empowering you to utilize tools that will improve your life. At New Leaf we offer counseling for individuals, couples, and families.

Having struggles can be difficult, getting therapy shouldn't be. Depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and stress are common, but can be managed. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach, but respond to my clients' unique needs and preferences. I am not here to just talk but to help you learn how to cope during that moment and all the other moments for the rest of your life. Deseret Counseling is an outpatient therapy for adults, teenagers, children and families

Please check out our website to see other clinicians I work closely with who may be a good fit. Hello! I am Jamie. I help adults with trauma histories and those experiencing difficulties with emotion dysregulation, chronic suicidal ideation or self-harm urges. I transitioned from a solo practice to a group practice in July 2020 in order to have a more comprehensive mental health counseling center and to provide services to a broader range of clients in our community. This agency is now called A New Day Counseling Utah.

There is no fast food approach to the therapeutic experience and there is no easy, quick fix to helping my clients deal with the sometime crushing realities the modern soul must endure. Therapy should not only be a place for overcoming symptoms, emotional healing and expression, but should also aimed at discovering and deepening our sense of meaning and purpose while enriching our lives as complex beings.
